Animal Visions considers how literature responds to the harms of
anthropocentricism, working with Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights
(1847) and various adaptations of this canonistic novel to show how
posthumanist dream writing unsettles the privileging of the human
species over other species. Two feminist and post-Freudian
responses, Kathy Acker's poem "Obsession" (1992) and Anne Carson's
"The Glass Essay" (1997) most strongly extend Bronte's dream
writing in this direction. Building on the trope of a ludic Cathy
ghost who refuses the containment of logic and reason, these and
other adaptations offer the gift of a radical peri-hysteria. This
emotional excess is most clearly seen in Kate Bush's music video
"Wuthering Heights" (1978) and Peter Kosminsky's film Wuthering
Heights (1992). Such disturbances make space for a moor love that
is particularly evident in Jane Urquhart's novel Changing Heaven
(1989) and, to a lesser extent Sylvia Plath's poem, "Wuthering
Heights" (1961). Bronte's Wuthering Heights and its most productive
afterings make space for co-affective relations between humans and
other animal beings. Andrea Arnold's film Wuthering Heights (2011)
and Luis Bunuel's Abismos de Pasion (1954) also highlight the
rupturing split gaze of non-acting animals in their films. In all
of these works depictions of intra-active and entangled responses
between animals show the potential for dynamic and generative
multispecies relations, where the human is one animal amongst the
kin of the world.
Originally published in 1904. The following 'Notes' were not penned
in the presumptuous hope of adding materially to the existing
knowledge of the subjects with which they deal. The first part of
this book was the result of much reading, while the account of the
author's various experiences at the Chinese Court were undertaken
with a view to faithfully putting on record the manner of those
receptions in which, after so long and rigorous a seclusion, the
reigning Son of Heaven and his Imperial Mother at last condescended
(driven no doubt by foreign pressure) to put aside the veil which
for centuries had shrouded the faces of majesty in China.
Offering an interdisciplinary qualitative approach, this book
examines and evaluates the role and benefits of a Learning
Community (LC), a high-impact practice for student retention in
higher education. Grounded in in-depth case studies and
first-person student experiences, the authors studied four student
cohorts (sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate students) who
participated in a full immersion LC experience at an urban public
four-year college in New York. Focusing on the maturity students
develop as they progress toward their degrees, the authors evaluate
the impact of the learning community on the students' experiences,
perceptions, successes and obstacles. A powerful demonstration of
the effects of connection and comradery on learning, this account
explores how the LC helps the decision-making of those in higher
education administration regarding high impact student
interventions.
